Vote arrr die: Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde aka brokep has thrown his support behind the Green Party for next week's election to the European parliament, diminishing the hopes of the Pirate Party to establish itself as the sole political voice of the file sharing world. Sunde used a short Bambuser clip to endorse the Green Party, telling viewers that they "have to vote Green in the upcoming elections, where ever you are in Europe."

Sunde's endorsement came as part of a new Pirate Bay campaign aimed at getting people to vote in the upcoming election. The Diddy-like named "Vote or die 2009" campaign is a collaboration with the Swedish live streaming site Bambuser and encourages users to "make their voice heard" by recording short videos related to the election, and presumably follow up with going to the polls.

However, the Pirate Party hasn't really been doing all that well in other countries. Germany's Pirates are currently aiming for 0.5 percent. Leading candidate Andreas Popp recently told Torrentfreak that even 0.5 percent "would be a big step" because it would allow the party to receive public funding.

The green party is not socialist as Daniel falsly states. They are centre-left but are also ahead of the rest when it comes to environmental justice issues such as really doing something about climate change. And they are very much pro-copying. Watch this video. The swedish Green Party's top EU-parlamentarian is one of the people behind it. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm sorry, I was wrong.
In some matters such as labor law the Green Party is not quite as socialist such as the Swedish Social Democratic Labor Party.
But if you look at other issues, most are based on socialist ideas, environmental issues, not least.
The idea that the Green Party would be a Center-Left party is a misunderstanding based on the Swedish political conditions.
Yes compared to other Swedish parties the Green Party is positioned near the center, but if you look at their politics you will see that they are far to the left.
The parties that represent center politics in Sweden today is primarily the People's Party and the Moderates.
